Re Manufactured homes - Chapter revisions
Enclosed you will find two copies of Chapter 17 63, the original titled Mobile/Manufactured
Homes and a draft chapter titled Manufactured Homes (slightly modified from December's draft.)
I have completely changed the layout in an effort to make it more user friendly, which does not
allow for the normal procedure of including all the changes within one document and illustrating
those changes by strike through and underlined text. However I have indicated questions in
bold behind some of the new text or issues that need more discussion and clarification by the
Planning Commission
Please bring your matrix from the November meeting (copies will be available at the meeting)

Re Manufacture Homes - Chapter revisions
Enclosed you will find two copies of Chapter 17 63, the original titled Mobile/Manufactured
Homes and a draft chapter titled Manufactured Homes and stamped draft. I have completely
changed the layout in an effort to make it more user friendly, which does not allow for the
normal procedure of including all the changes within one document and illustrating those
changes by strike through and underlining of text. However' have included questions in bold
behind issues that need more clarification and discussion by the Planning Commission
Please bring your matrix from the November meeting (copies will be available at the meeting).

Fundin!!: note. Yelm is a city ofless than 3,000, planmng for a population of 12,000 or more. The creation of new facilities in response to growth will directly
depend on the ability of new growth to pay for needed new facilities. The CIty will not permit development in urban areas without all necessary services and
will not permit any development which materially interferes with the City's ability to accomplish the Comprehensive Plan, either physically or fiscally The City
has authorIzed enabling tools such as LIDs, latecomer agreements, impact assessments, and other charges to assure that growth pays for growth. All of the
facilities needed for planned growth are either already in place, in planning, or available in increments as growth occurs. If growth does not occur as expected,
additional facilities would not be expected. If proposed new growth cannot meet the minimum cost of developing within the City without local subsidy, it will
not occur The City is dependent on sewer, water, and transportation grants for a portion of planning, engineering, and development costs.

YELM CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN 1996-2015
See "Regional Transportation Improvement Program for Thurston County 1999-2004"
Fundin!! note: The interim State Highway System through town, SR 510 and SR 507, presently operate below acceptable levels of service. The City has identified a
"F" level of service as acceptable in the urban core until necessary improvements are made, and particularly Y-2 and Y-3 completed. These two improvements are key
to achieving the overall long-term traffic LOS. Yelm is dependent upon state and regional funding to meet existing needs, particularly on the state highways. The need
for extended local facilities is a function of growth and is to be paid as new growth occurs. Y -3 has been identified as an alternative to alleviate the traffic on the state
hIghway through town. The projected funding sources and priorIties are Identified in the Transportation Plan as updated semi-annually through the Regional
Transportation Improvements Program for Thurston County
* TFC = Transportation Facility Charge - $750 00 fee for new traffic trips to the City's road system based
on p.m. peak trips. Funds to be used on transportation projects identified in the TFC Plan.
* Edwards Street Improvement Project to be constructed summer of 1999 utilIzing State TIB Funds, Local
and Private Funds.
*East Y elm Avenue 4th Street to Five Comers Project to be constructed summer of 1999 utilizing Federal,
State, Local and Private Funds.
** The City ofYelm is In the process of acquiring the "Prairie Line" Yelm to Lakeview (approximately 14
miles) from the BurlIngton Northern Santa Fe (BNSF).

Funding note. Yelm is a town of less than 2,000, planning for a population of 12,000 or more The creation of new facilities in response to growth
will dIrectly depend on the ability of new growth to pay for needed new facilitIes The City will not permit development in urban sewered areas
without all necessary services and will not permit any development which materially interferes with the City's ability to accomplish the
Comprehensive Plan, either physically or fiscally The CIty has authorized enabling tools such as LIDs, latecomer agreements, impact assessments,
and other charges to assure that growth pays for growth. All of the facilIties needed for planned growth are either already In place, in planning,
or available in increments as growth occurs If growth does not occur as expected, additional facilIties would not be expected If proposed new
growth cannot meet the minimum cost of developing within the City without local subsidy, it will not occur The City is dependent on sewer, water,
and transportation grants for a portion of planning, engineering, and development costs

See "Regional Transportation Improvement Program for Thurston County, 1995-1997" September 1994
Funding note The interim State Highway System through town, SR 510 and SR 507, presently operate below acceptable levels of service. The
City has Identified an "F" level of service as acceptable in the urban core until necessary improvements are made, and particularly Y-2 and Y-3
completed These two improvements are key to achievmg the overall long-term traffic LOS. Yelm is dependent upon state and regional funding
to meet existing needs, particularly on the state highways The need for extended local facilities is a function of growth and is to be paid as new
growth occurs Y -3 has been identified as an alternative to alleviate the traffic on the state highway through town. The projected funding sources
and pnorities are identified in the Transportation Plan as updated semi-annually through the Regional Transportation Improvements Program for
Thurston County

Zonina Code Amendments: Work session- Chapter 17.63, Manufactured/Mobile
Homes
Tom asked for input from staff Cathie explained the purpose of this work session is for
the Planning Commission (PC) to review and discuss information on numerous issues
relating to manufactured housing. Cathie stated that at the end of the work session, the
PC should be prepared to give staff direction on which areas of Chapter 17 63,
Mobile/Manufactured Homes need revisions
Additional work sessions may be required to fully discuss all issues Cathie also
explained some procedures and a research field trip her and Dana went on in early
October Cathie explained the "Definition" section, then showed a series of slides
throughout the rest of the staff report. The slides showed different examples of some
of the issues at hand (i e street width, roof pitch, sidewalks, parking areas, alternative
foundations etc) Throughout the staff report there was much discussion Questions
and discussions were as follows
Under the "maximum coverage" issue - Shelly Badaer asked why the maximum density
percentage and the overall percentage of development coverage shouldn't be the same?
Cathie said no Shelly stated that its probably better that we are addressing these
issues now rather than in the future after a large project applies

Cathie talked in depth about the minimum street width and parking issue, stating that the
code for this topic is pretty vague Shellv stated that the current code requires two on-
site parking stalls, without any other parking provisions, it just isn't enough anymore
when most families have two or more vehicles, and when they have guests there isn't
anywhere to park. Roberta Lonamire stated if manufactured homes are going to be
allowed in all zoning districts, with the same lot coverage allowance - why is something
different being considered on the roads? Tom answered that he thought the same way,
we are trying to provide a different housing opportunity for different income levels in the
community - but from a public safety, ingress & egress and quality of life standpoint -
they should have the same rights, if they have the same rights they should have the
same responsibilities as the stick build homes
Mike Malan addressed the PC, and commented that the difference between
parks/communities and sub-divisions is the type of people who live in each Mr. Malan
went on to say that generally you won't find too many families in a mobile home
park/community - its mostly retired people, who don't have as many vehicles going in
and out, children etc Also, in a park/community where the homes can be moved, if
there are sidewalks and curbs there will be a lot of damage when a home is moved in
and out, it would not be very cost effective for the park/community owner Roberta
commented that maybe there should be different standards for "retirement communities"
Bev Malan stated that when she first opened her mobile hom0 park - they tried to have
a "Senior only" park, but it was too hard to fill the spaces
There was more discussion about private streets Cathie drew an example on the board.
Shellv stated that on private streets the fire & safety issues can still be addressed
Maraaret asked if a one-way street could be used, with parking on one side? Cathie
said yes, then went on to discuss open space and perimeter buffer requirements and
development standards for designated manufactured housing Cathie showed the slides
which referenced some alternative foundations, roofing materials and roof pitch, exterior
siding and garage/carports Bev Malan asked if mixe9 developments were allowed
Cathie said yes
Cathie stated that another work session will probably be necessary Tom Gorman asked
Cathie if she would develop a matrix with all the issues and then list the requirements
in each category (i e existing sub-divisions, townhouses, manufactured housing
communities and sub-divisions) to help everyone understand all the different types etc.

SEP A Rule Changes
Bob Meinig, MRSC Legal Consultant
March 1998
The Department of Ecology (DOE) adopted, effective November 10, 1997, revisions to the State Environmental Policy
Act (SEPA) rules, chapter 197-11 WAC. DOE made these revisions, the most extensive to the SEPA rules since their
adoption in 1984, primarily in response to 1995 regulatory reform legislation (ESHB 1724) and 1997 legislation (ESB
6094) that enacted Land Use Study Commission recommendations concerning the Growth Management Act. The
revisions add new rules and amend existing ones, and are summarized below
What do the SEP A rule revisions mean for cities and counties?
All cities and counties should have in place local SEP A rules to guide their review of actions affecting the environment.
Under SEPA, local governments have 180 days to amend their local SEPA rules to be consistent with DOE rule revisions.
The deadline for local governments to amend their local SEPA rules in response to the DOE rule revisions is May 9,
1998.
What SEP A rules do cities and counties follow until they amend their local SEP A rules?
Under SEPA, existing local rules continue to be effective until the adoption of new, amended rules, provided that those
new rules are adopted within the 180-day period. However, some commentators have suggested that local governments
cannot follow an existing local rule that directly contradicts the new DOE rules.
Regardless of when local rules are amended, local governments must comply with the 1995 and 1997 legislation that the
new DOE rules are intended to implement. For example, cities and counties already must comply with the limitation of
holding no more than one open record hearing and one closed record appeal for project permit applications, a limitation
that DOE incorporates into its rule revisions for applications that are subject to SEPA.
()
What happens if cities and counties do not amend their SEP A rules within the lSO-day period?
There are no specific statutory penalties for non-compliance with the 180-day deadline. However, a local government's
SEP A review of a proposed land use action can be challenged on the basis of that review being inconsistent with SEP A
and the DOE rules. In short, a city or county's land use decisions that are subject to SEP A may be in legal jeopardy
because of a failure to timely amend local SEP A rules.
How have the SEP A rules been changed by the recent revisions?
The revised DOE rules address four main areas: (I) combining the requirements for project permit application review and
SEPA review into one integrated review process; (2) administrative SEP A appeals; (3) "planned actions," designated as
such by cities and counties planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA); and (4) categorical SEPA exemptions.
Integrated Review Chapter 36.70B RCW, relating to local project permit review, was enacted in 1995 and
requires cities and counties to integrate their project permit and SEP A review processes, including administrative
appeals.
Ai; part of this integrated process, GMA cities and counties may decide when making a threshold determination
that some or all of the specific environmental impacts of a proposed project and their mitigation have been
adequately analyzed by their development regulations or comprehensive plan, or other local, state, or federal laws
or rules. The SEPA rules address this in a new rule, WAC 197-11-158.
The project permit review process in chapter 36.70B RCW also addresses the integration of the threshold
determination process with the project permit application requirements, including notice. See WAC 197-11-310.

SEPA Rule Changes, Bob Meinig, MRSC Legal Consultant, March 1998
ENVIRONMENT CODE AMENDMENT
c
One problem with the notice of application process in RCW 36, 70B.II 0 is that it was amended twice by the 1997
legislature, and each amendment is different and does not refer to the other DOE has decided to await legislative
action to resolve the conflict. However, in the meantime, the revised SEP A rules contain a new optional
determination of nonsignificance (DNS) process. The optional DNS process allows a GMA city or county to use
an integrated comment period to obtain comments on a notice of application for a project permit and on the likely
DNS for the proposal. Usually a second comment period would not be required when the DNS is then issued.
This optional process can be used when the city or county is reasonably certain that the project will have no
significant impacts or that mitigation will reduce impacts to a nonsignificant level. This optional process is set out
in WAC 197-11-355
2. Administrative Appeals. The revised SEP A rules address the optional administrative appeal process in WAC
197-11-680 relating to a local government's SEP A review decision. The revisions incorporate the chapter 36.70B
RCW limitation of having no more than one open record hearing and one closed record appeal for permit
decisions. They also provide, with some exceptions, for consolidation of any allowed appeals of SEP A
determinations with a hearing or appeal on the underlying action. Time limits for administrative appeals are also
addressed in the revised rules.
Note: Due to an error, the version ofW AC 197-11-680(Appeals) in WSR 97-21-030, is incorrect. The correct
version of WAC 197-11-680 is found in an emergency rule at WSR 97-23-013
3
Planned Actions. Under 1995 legislation, GMA cities and counties can by ordinance or resolution designate
"planned actions." "Planned actions" are defmed as having significant impacts already addressed in an EIS
prepared in conjunction with a GMA comprehensive or subarea plan or with a fully contained community, a
master planned resort, a master planned development, or aphased project. Planned actions must be located within
an urban growth area, may not be considered "essential public facilities," and must be consistent with the
comprehensive plan. Because of this earlier SEPA review, a threshold determination or an EIS is not required for
a proposed project that qualifies as a planned action, although an environmental checklist still must be submitted.
c
For planned actions, a city or county reviews the proposed project and verifies that it is consistent with the
planned action designated by ordinance or resolution and that the environmental impacts have been adequately
addressed. The city or county then continues with project permit review
New SEPA rules in WAC 197-11-164 through 197-11-172 provide details on how the planned action process is
implemented.
4 Categorical Exemptions. Although DOE is currently engaged in preparing proposed revisions to the list of
categorical SEPA exemptions in WAC 197-11-800, it made a few additions to the exemptions in its revised
SEPA rules that were effective last November
Two of these exemptions are of particular significance for cities and counties, although they do nothing more than
incorporate prior statutory changes. One is the 1994 statutory exemption for city annexations. The other
exemption is for certain "personal wireless service facilities," which mirrors the provisions ofRCW 43.2IC.0384,
enacted in 1996.
What help does DOE provide in revising local SEP A rules?
DOE's Web site provides "interim guidance" on its revised rules. This interim guidance, found at
http://www wa.gov/ecology/cp/guidncn4.html provides a brief discussion of the primary changes in the rules and the
background for those changes.
DOE is currently in the process of revising its SEP A Handbook to incorporate and provide detailed discussion and
guidance on the rule changes. The revised handbook will, according to DOE, be available in "early 1998."
o
DOE's Web site also provides a draft revision to the Model SEPA Ordinance, updated" as of March 9, 1997, at
http://wwwwa.gov/ecology/cp/modelord.htmI.Pursuanttostatutorydirection.inI984 DOE adopted a "model
ordinance" (chapter 173-806 WAC) that provides local SEP A regulations and procedures that cities and counties can
adopt to comply with the DOE rules. Some cities and counties adopted the DOE model ordinance, with modifications, as
their local SEP A rules. If your city or county has adopted the model ordinance or is thinking of doing so, you will want to
pay attention to DOE's revisions. As its draft ordinance is reviewed and improved, DOE intends to post updated versions

Where can you get a copy of the revised SEP A regulations?
If you subscribe to the Washington State Register, the revised rules are at WSR 97-21-030 and WSR 97-23-013
(containing the corrected version of WAC 197-11-680). If you have Internet access, DOE has posted the revised rules at
http://wwwwa.gov/ecology/cp/fmlrule.html. which include the corrected version of WAC 197-11-680 In addition, DOE
mailed copies of the new rules to all city and county planning directors in December 1997
However, if your city or county does not have a copy of the new rules or does not receive the State Register or have
Internet access, you can order a copy of the new SEP A rules from Neil Aaland at DOE at (306)407-7045
MRSC can help too!CAs part of its usual "clearinghouse" function, MRSC will be collecting city and county SEP A rules
that have been revised to be consistent with the new DOE rules. We ask that you send or e-mail MRSC your revised
SEP A rules as soon as they are completed so that we can share them with other cities and counties.
Also, our professional consultant staff is available to field inquiries concerning a city or county's obligations regarding the
revised SEP A rules.

Chapter 17 63, Mobile/Manufactured Homes need revisions Additional work sessions may be
required to fully discuss all issues
Backqround
The Manufacturing Housing Industry has made significant strides over the last two decades in the
quality, safety and design of manufactured homes Construction and safety are regulated by the U S
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Jurisdictions throughout the United States
also regulate manufactured housing, just as they regulate "stick built" housing, through local codes
Sources of information regarding the subjects/issues below are from the Washington Manufactured
Housing Association, Manufactured Housing Regulation, Design Innovations, and Development
Options, Welfor Sanders, July 1998, and development regulations from the City of Tumwater, City of
Olympia and the City of Lacey Also, staff conducted site visits to numerouL manufactured housing
developments (parks and subdivisions) in Lacey, Tumwater, Thurston County and Centralia Time
was spent visiting four manufactured housing dealerships and speaking to residents in the
developments and developers about process and costs
Issues
1 DEFINITIONS - The Washington Manufactured Housing Association reviewed Yelm Municipal Code,
Chapter 17 63, Mobile/Manufactured Homes and suggested changes to some of our definitions The
suggested changes are consistent with Manufactured Housing Regulation, Design Innovations, and
Development Options, Welfor Sanders, July 1998, and are as follows
A.
"Manufactured home" means a single-family dwelling built according to the Federal
Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 A manufactured home
includes plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems, and is built on a
permanent chassis
C.\OFFICE\PC\MANHOME.WPD
o

B
"Mobile home" means a factory-built dwelling built prior to the enactment of the Federal
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards
C "Manufactured home subdivision" means an area of land, platted in accordance with the
subdivision or platting regulations of the city and the state of Washington, in which each parcel
or lot is designed and intended to be owned in fee by a person or persons also owning and
occupying the manufactured home
D "Manufactured housing community" means a residential development typified by single
ownership of land within the development, with the landowner retaining the rights of ownership
Home sites within the community are leased to individual homeowners, who retain customary
leasehold rights
E "Designated Manufactured Home" means a manufactured home on an individual parcel that is
used for residential purposes
F "Modular home" means a structure constructed in a factory of factory assembled parts and
transported to the building site in whole or in units which meets the requirements of the
Uniform Building code This includes prefabricated, panelized, and modular units shipped
either preassembled or assembled at the site
2. MINIMUM LOT AREA, WIDTHIFRONTAGE, AND MAXIMUM COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS
Attached at the end of this report is Table 7, Minimum Lot Area, Width/Fronl age, and Maximum
Coverage Requirements, from Manufactured Housing Regulation, Design Innovations, and
Development Options, Sanders, 1998, which shows a comparison of standards from jurisdictions
throughout the United States
Minimum Lot Area - The City requires manufactured home subdivisions to have 5,000 sq ft
lots (R-4 and R-6 Districts) and communities (parks) to have 4,000 sq ft lots (R-6 and R-14
Districts) These lot areas appear to be consistent with those illustrated in Table 7
WidthlFrontage - The City requires manufactured home subdivisions to have a minimum 50'
lot width (R-4 and R-6 Districts) and communities (parks) a minimum 40' lot width (R-6 and R-
14 Districts) These width/frontage requirements appear to be consistent with those illustrated
in Table 7
Maximum Coverage - City code allows for a maximum 30% development coverage in the R-4
District, 40% development coverage in the R-6 District and 50% development coverage in
manufactured home communities (R-6 and R-10 Districts) This compares with City code
allowing 75% development coverage for "stick" built housing in all residential districts
1 Can maximum density be accomplished with low percentages of development
coverage, taking into consideration requirements for open space, roads and stormwater
facilities?
2 Attached garages/carports add to the overall percentage of development coverage
To encourage the construction of garages/carports, should the maximum coverage
allowed for manufactured homes be increased?

3. MINIMUM SIZE AND MAXIMUM DENSITY REQUIREMENTS
Attached at the end of this report is Table 6, Minimum Size and Maximum Density Requirements, from
Manufactured Housing Regulation, Design Innovations, and Development Options, Sanders, 1998,
which shows a comparison of standards from jurisdictions throughout the United States
Minimum Size - Last year the Planning Commission reviewed the minimum and maximum
parcel size and some minor revisions were made at that time Curr611t1y the parcel range for
manufactured home subdivisions is between 5 and 20 acres The parcel range for
communities (parks) is between 3 and 15 acres The minimum parcel size appears to be
consistent with those illustrated in Table 10, however the table or the book does not provide
any information on maximum parcel size
Maximum Density - the underlying district (R-4 and R-6) dictate the allowed density with the
exception of communities (parks) in the R-14 District. Maximum density allowed in the R-14
District is 6 units per gross acre
4. MINIMUM STREET-WIDTH AND SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS
Attached at the end of this report is Table 10 Minimum Street-Width and Sidewalk Requirements,
from Manufactured Housing Regulation, Design Innovations, and Development Options, Sanders,
1998, which shows a comparison of standards from jurisdictions throughout the United States
Minimum Street Width - Last year the Planning Commission reviewed the street standards for
manufactured home communities (park) and recommended to the City Council that the street
standards for a community be increased to the City standard for residential street section The
recommendation from the Planning Commission reflected the need for good pedestrian access
and adequate parking in manufactured home communities
After review by the City Council and strong concerns of increased development costs by the
public the Council requested that this issue be re-addressed Table 10, Minimum Street-Width
and Sidewalk Requirements, illustrates a variety of street widths and sidewalk requirements
Current City standards (30' street width, plus 7' for streets with parking) fall somewhat in the
middle of the various standard examples As a means to focus the discussions of adequate
standards the Planning Commission may want to start with addressing the following questions
1 The land in a manufactured home community is not legally segregated when the
community is developed Should the City view the interior road system as private
driveways, private roads or public streets Should the interior street classification be
relevant to the number of units?
2. If the interior street system is classified as private driveway's, what is the minimum
width needed for 2-way traffic? (Any other classification would require streets to be built
to City standards for a residential access street - 58' right-of-way)
3 Should on street parking be required? (Refer to #5 Parking Requirements below for
follow-up question)
Minimum Sidewalk Requirements - City code is very vague on the requirement of pedestrian
facilities in manufactured home communities Section 17 63 180 C states "Mobile home parks
C.\OFFICE\PC\MANHOME.WPD

o
c
o
shall connect with traffic and pedestrian ways on all abutting or connecting streets" Attached
at the end of this report is Table 10, Minimum Street-Width and Sidewalk Requirements, for
examples of pathway/walkway requirements
Manufactured home subdivisions are required to construct public streets which include
sidewalks
1 Are pedestrian facilities needed in manufactured home communities? If yes, should
they be conventional sidewalks (either 5' wide and adjacent to the curb or separated
from the curb by a planter strip) or a pathway/walkway system
2 If a pedestrian pathway/walkway system, should all home...., common areas and
public streets be connected?
5 PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Attached at the end of this report is Table 11, Parking Requirements, from Manufactured Housing
Regulation, Design Innovations, and Development Options, Sanders, 1998, which shows a
comparison of standards from jurisdictions throughout the United States
Parking requirements - City code requires all single family units to provide a minimum of 2
off-street paved parking spaces This assumes homes are abutting public right-of-way where
on-street parking is available
1 If on-street parking is not required in manufactured home communities, are 2 off-
street parking spaces adequate to accommodate visitor parking or should visitor
parking areas be required?
6. MINIMUM COMMON OPEN SPACE AND PERIMETER BUFFERS
Attached at the end of this report is Table 9 Minimum Common Open Space and Perimeter
Requirements, from Manufactured Housing Regulation, Design Innovations, and Development
Options, Sanders, 1998, which shows a comparison of standards from jurisr'ictions throughout the
United States
Open Space requirements - City code requires all single family residential developments to
provide 5% of the gross area in open space The 5% requirement equates to 363 sq ft per unit
in the R-6 District and 545 sq ft per unit in the R-4 District. City requirements appear to fall in
the middle of the examples provided in Table 9
Perimeter buffer requirements - City code does not address any perimeter buffer for either
manufactured home subdivisions or communities with the exception of the Landscape Code,
Chapter 17 80, which requires a 15' dense buffer for development which is adjacent to
conflicting uses and land use districts The only time a 15' buffer would be required is along
property lines which are adjacent to a non-compatible zoning district (residential next to
commercial)
The examples in Table 9 range from no buffering requirements up to 50' Questions the
Planning Commission may want to consider are

1 As discussed below in #7 Development/Design Standards for Designated
Manufactured Homes, manufactured homes which are on individual lots or in
subdivisions can be defined as designated manufactured housing If development
standards are utilized for designated manufactured housing to increase comparability
with existing "stick built" homes, is it necessary to require additional buffering?
2. If the Planning Commission wants to limit the development/design standards for a
"designated manufactured home" should some buffering be required?
3 Development/design standards for manufactured homes in a manufactured home
community (park) are different than designated manufactured homes (i e permanent
foundations are not required in "parks") Should there be additional buffering
requirements for land-leased communities?
4 What type of buffering would be appropriate? Vegetation only? Fence only? Or a
combination of fencing and vegetation?
Examples for Manufactured Home Communities (land-lease) buffering requirements from
existing codes are
A. The manufactured home community shall be screened along its perimeter by a
permanent buffer area, not less than 50 feet wide, composed of trees, shrubs, or other
suitable buffers approved by the City
B Type I buffer of a minimum width of 30 feet shall be established along the exterior
boundaries of manufactured home communities
Examples Manufactured Home Subdivisions buffering requirements from existing codes are
A. The subdivision shall be screened along its perimeter by a permanent buffer area,
not less than 35 feet wide, composed of trees, shrubs, or other suitable buffers
approved by the City The buffer area may be place on individual lots within the
subdivision
B Type I buffer of a minimum width of 30 feet shall be established along the exterior
boundaries of manufactured home subdivisions
7 DEVELOPMENT/DESIGN STANDARDS FOR DESIGNATED MANUFACTURED HOUSING
As defined above under #1 Definitions, designated manufactured homes are those units which would
be placed on individual parcels This would include infilllots (parcels in existing neighborhoods) and
lots in new or existing subdivisions (all platted lots) The following development standards are
reviewed and discussed in Manufactured HousinG ReGulation, DesiGn Innovations, and Development
Options, Welfor Sanders, July 1998 It is not uncommon for jurisdictions to utilize any combination of
development/design standards to address compatibility issues
Foundations - City code requires permanent foundations for manufactured housing with the
exception of manufactured housing communities (parks)
1 Should the code specify backfill requirements such as requiring that no more than
C"\OFFICE\PC\MANHOME.WPD
5
o
c
c
18" of the foundation shall be visible?
2 Should the code allow for other types of "skirting" , in place of a permanent
foundations, if regulations can be administered to increase compatibility with "stick built"
housing? An example of a variation to a permanent foundation would be to require
pressure treated board (approved under state law) which is painted concrete gray and
is backfilled so that no more than 18" is visible
Width - City code requires a minimum width of 24' (double wide) Research indicates most
codes range from a minimum width of 20' to 24'
Roof Structure/Pitch - City code does not address roof pitch Manufactured homes come
with a variety of roof pitches, with the most typical pitch a 3 12 or a 4 12 From my
conversations with manufactured home representatives most people purchase a home with a
4 12 pitch "Stick" built homes also have a variety of roof pitches, with the most typical pitch a
412
1 Should the City require a minimum roof pitch or add language that requires the roof
pitch to be compatible with the existing neighborhood?
Roofing Material - City code does not address roofing material Again this is a feature that
can contribute to the aesthetics of the neighborhood Most manufactured homes feature a
composition roof An example of code text regulating roofing materials is
All roofing material shall consist of one of the following categories wood, shingle, wood
shake, synthetic composite shingle, or concrete tile
Placement - City code does not address placement. Some jurisdictions require that the front
or entrance of the home faces or parallels the principal street frontage This requirement is
used to aid in compatibility with existing homes and the neighborhood
Exterior Siding - City code does not address roofing material Again this is a feature that can
contribute to the aesthetics of the neighborhood Most manufactured homes have lap siding
made of vinyl, Masonite (wood product) or Hardy Board (concrete board) An example of code
text regulating siding materials is
Exterior siding of brick, wood, stucco, plaster, concrete, or other material, which is
finished in a nonglossy and nonreflective manner and which is compatible with
surrounding development.
Garages - The City code does not address garages For infill areas 30me of the issues that
come to mind are
1 When existing garages are off an alley, should the City require that all new garages
be accessed from the alley? This is a question regarding both "stick" built homes and
manufactured homes
2. Should manufactured home subdivisions be required to provide garages (attached
or detached) or carports?

8. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES
As defined above in #1 Definitions, a manufactured housing community is a land-lease development
where the land is owned by a single party Home sites within the community are leased to individual
homeowners (commonly referred to as Mobile Home Parks)
Foundations/Skirting - City code does not require permanent foundations in manufactured
housing communities (parks)
1 Should the code require specific types of allowed skirting, such as pressure treated
board (approved under state law) or should the community (park) owner have full
discretion, including metal skirting?
2 Should the City require manufactured homes in communities to be pit set?
3 Should the code specify backfill requirements or require that no more than 18" of the
skirting shall be visible?
4 Should the code specify that all approved skirting be painted concrete gray to
emulate a permanent foundation?
Width - City code requires a minimum width of 24' (double wide) Research indicates most
codes range from a minimum width of 20 to 24' However, in existing parks not all spaces have
enough room to convert from a single wide to a double wide
1 Should the City allow for exceptions in existing parks?
2 Some jurisdictions have a separate section in their code that requires existing
communities (parks) to meet current standards This can have a minimum of
requirements from a single requirement (updating to double-wides) or can include
updating any combination of requirements such as, open space, parking, stormwater,
pedestrian walkways, etc) Should the City consider adding this section to our code?
The remaining items in this section should be consider separate from designated
manufactured homes because they are contained within a park. While subscribing to the
below design details would make a community more aesthetically pleasing to the residents, this
is an area which historically is prescribed by the park owners
Short of regulating any or all of the below design guidelines, the City could require a
manufactured home community land owner to have covenants that address these issues
Roof Structure/Pitch - Manufactured homes come with a variety of roof pitches, with the most
typical pitch a 3 12 or a 4 12 "Stick" built homes also have a variety of roof pitches, with the
most typical pitch a 4 12 From my conversations with manufactured home representatives
most people purchase a home with a 4 12 pitch
Roofing Material - Again this is a feature that can contribute to the aesthetics of the
neighborhood Most manufactured homes feature a composition roof An example of code
text regulating roofing materials is
C:\OFFICE\PC\MANHOME.WPD
7
c
All roofing material shall consist of one of the following categories wood, shingle, wood
shake, synthetic composite shingle, or concrete tile Unfinished galvanized steel or
unfinished aluminum roofing shall not be permitted
Exterior Siding - Again this is a feature that can contribute to the aesthetics of the
neighborhood Most manufactured homes have sidings similar to a "stick" built home An
example of code text regulating siding materials is
Exterior siding of brick, wood, stucco, plaster, concrete, or other material, which is
finished in a nonglossy and nonreflective manner and which is compatible with
surrounding development.
Garages/Carports - Many of the manufactured home communities we visited did have
attached two garages The garages were required by the park owner In those parks that did
not have garages, there were a substantial amount of vehicles parked on the road
1 Should manufactured home communities be required to provide garages (attached
or detached) or carports?
2 If garages or carports are not required, where should additional parking be provided,
on the street or in parking areas?

Poplar Blutf, Missouri, varies its minimum lot-size requirement in rela-
tion to the district in which the development will occur In this city's RS-4
residential district, the minimum lot-size requirement for manutactured
housing developments is 6,000 square teet; in the less restrictive RS-5
residential district, the minimum lot size permitted is 5,000 square teet
Ollowing for some flexibility in minimum lot-size requirements recog-
rn-z,es that manutactured dwellings vary significantly in size and that
single-section homes will require less lot area than multisection homes

"Density .shall not exceed density range as delined in the general
plan for the property on which the park is located"
housing land-lease communities. The 1986 survey found that about half of
the 20 communities singled out for study had minimum lot sizes ranging
from 4,000 to 5,000 square feet. Two-thirds of the communities that re-
sponded to the 1996 survey have set minimum lot-size requirements that
exceed 4,000 square feet, with most of those specifying lot sizes ot 4,000 to
5,000 square feet. Its important to note, however, that, while minimum lot-
size requirements may have increased over the years, these minimums are
sbll well within the range considered appropriate to such development.
More importantly, it is necessary to keep lot sizes in this range to allow for
the development of aftordable developments, whether the homes are built
on site or in a factory
Three of the communities that have set minimum lot-size requirements-
Winston Salem-Forsyth County, North Carolina, Hampton, Virginia, and
Johnson County, Kansas-permit smaller lots when single-section homes
are used. They require larger lots for multisection homes. Hampton, Vir-
ginia, for example, allows lots as small as 3,800 square teet for single-section
homes in manufactured home land-lease communities but has set a 5,225-
square-foot minimum lot size for multi section homes.
Some of the communities featured here also require that manufactured
housing subdivisions provide greater lot area than land-lease communities. For
instance, Pinellas County, Florida, which permits lots as small as 3,500 square
teet m land-lease communities requires a mimmum lot size nearly twice that
large (6,000 square feet) in manufactured subdivision developments.
--
o
square feet-the smallest mmimum lot size among the communities fea-
tured here. In the other commumties that have establIshed a maximum
coverage reqUIrement, lot coverage standards range between 40 to 50
percent. These maximum allowances for lot coverage are reasonable for the
4,000- to 5,000-square-toot lots required in most cases. Permitting less
coverage would seem appropriate for the 2,OOO-square-foot lots permitted
in Owensboro-Davies County, Kentucky

The desIgn of manufactured homes in land-lease communitIes has also
improved sIgnificantly sll1ce the 1986 PAS Report. Most notable has been
the "developer series" homes that are desIgned to be virtually indistll1-
gUlshable from site-bUIlt housll1g These homes have conventIonal sIding
and steeper roofs that are constructed ot tradItional roofing materials. On-
sIte addItions such as garages, porches, gables, ilnd speCIal entryway
treatments further enhance the appearance of these manufactured Ul1lts.

Angeles, California, community is targeted to firsHime buyers and is one of the
first land-lease commumties in whIch manutactured homes can be purchased
as real property through conventional 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages. Homes
range in size from 1,250 to 1,625 square feet and were priced from $94,900 to
$113,900, with a monthly lease payment of about $466. The average cost of a
comparable site-built home in the Los Angeles area in the early 1990s was
$250,000 The homes in this development include central air conditIonll1g, two-

URBAN INFILL
Many low- and moderate-income, inner-city families spend more than half
their income on housing that is often substandard and poorly maintained. In
many older urban areas, rehabilitating dilapidated housing has been the
primary means of increasing housing opportunities for these families. Increas-
ingly, this approach is proving to be too costly, especially when the objective is
to resell these rehabilitated units to needy households. A growing number of
local officials are considering the use of manufactured housing as an al tema ti ve
to more costly new site-built and rehabilitated housing.
In the past, manufactured units have rarely been used in urban infill
development. Local zoning ordinances may exclude such housing from exist-
ing residential neighborhoods where affordable new housing is badly needed,
and, in many cases, the traditional manufactured housing styles may not be
entirely compatible with existing housing styles in older urban neighborhoods.
In 1995, the MHI launched the Urban Design Project to demonstrate that
manufactured housing can be designed so that it is compatible with existing
housing in established urban neighborhoods and yet be more affordable.
MHI hired Susan Maxman and Partners, Ltd., a nationally recognized
architectural firm to design manufactured homes for urban infilllots in five
cities-Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, Birmingham, Alabama, Washington,
D c., Louisville, Kentucky; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In each city, the
architects and MHI staff have worked with local residents, developers and
lenders, public officials, and manufacturers to develop manufactured hous-
ing designs that are appropriate for urban infill. These efforts are high-
lighted in the following pages. The Milwaukee initiative, which is part of an
ongoing neighborhood planning effort and builds on an earlier MHI-
sponsored Design Studio, is examined in greater detail on pages 65-68

Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, a community adjacent to Pittsburgh, was chosen as
the pilot location to kick-off the Urban Design Project. The Wilkinsburg project
plans to build and place four manufactured homes on scattered infilllots The
first, a two-story, three-bedroom home, was placed on a corner lot at Kelly Street
and Mifflin Avenue in 1997 The project development team in Wilkinsburg, coordinated here and in the other communities
by Susan Maxman and Partners, Ltd., and MHI staff, included the Pennsylvania Department of Community and
Economic Development, Wilkinsburg officials, ACTION Housing, Inc. (a loealnonprofit housing developer), and New Era
Building Systems, Ine. (the manufacturer) Residents of the Kelly Street and Mifflin Avenue area were involved in the
development process through a senes of focus groups. The information gained from the focus group sessions was especially
useful to the project architects in their efforts to design the first home. Decorative porches (A) and post detailing (B)
ensures that the manufactured housing designed for infilllots in Wilkinsburg resembles existing housing in the area.
Hardi-board, a durable fiber cement material (C), provides a rich, woodlike finish that can be painted.

The Marshall Heights Community Development Organization, with the support of the Potomac Electric Power Company,
plans to build two manufactured homes, including a three-bedroom, single-story home that will be built in two sections,
and a two-story home. The one-story unit was completed in the spring of 1998 The manufacturer for the Washington
project is Schult Homes Corporation. The floor plan for the one-story unit is shown above. The unit is placed on a

LOUISVILLE
o
The Louisville, Kentucky, project consists of six infill sites in the Smoketown
neighborhood, an area of the city that is undergoing a major redevelopment effort. A
stacked single-section home has been placed on one of the lots selected, and single-section
homes will be placed on the five other sites. The two-story home employs a "camel back"
design that sets back the second level so that there is only a single story at the front lot
line. This style of housing became common in Louisville, dictated by a now-defunct local
property tax scheme that taxed property based on the number of stories at the front lot line.

The preference among residents that took part in focus group sessions
was that the design of new infill homes should embrace the" camel back"
design. The stacked, single-section configuration also allows for a
manufactured home to be placed on a very narrow, urban in fill lot that
measures only 21 feet in width. The development team includes the

The design of homes in the recently completed CityHomes subdivision, located within two blocks of the planned
manufactured home development, had to be considered by the project's design team. Like the CityHomes unit, the
manufactured homes must also be two-story homes and include porches, a raised foundation, and basement. This subdivision

Commercial Zone (C-3) Tom Gorman changed the format of the work session, so
that the guests could speak first. Tom then asked Randy Walker to start with his
public comments Randv Walker introduced himself and stated that he is
representing Roger McKown Mr. Walker spoke about his clients feelings about the
rezone, and the impact it has had on his plans for his futurQ retirement. Mr. Walker
asked if the report from the City's attorney (Sandy Mackie) is back? Cathie stated
that there was a report, but it was done verbally to the City Administrator Cathie
also clarified to Mr Walker that comments his client (Mr McKown) has made to this
point have only been to the City Council, the Planning Commission is not aware of
Mr McKown's concerns yet. Mr. Walker then asked what the time limit is on a
rezone being barred after an annexation occurs? Cathie said that she did not know
the exact language or ordinance, but the City's Comprehensive Plan (which is a
Joint Plan with Thurston County) says that if a rezone is done in the next three
years it must be of mutual consent, whether it is inside or outside the city Cathie
also stated that presently, if an annexation occurs- the zoning is pre-determined in
the Comprehensive Plan
o
Tom commented that anytime something happens in the city which impacts a
property owners financial plight it is important, but he doesn't feel that the Planning
Commission has enough information to do something about it today Tom
suggested that Mr Walker, Mr McKown and City Staff meet on this issue, and if
the Planning Commission can help at a future date they will do so Mr. Walker then
asked what the Planning Commission thought about a variance? Tom stated he
feels the PC has struck a reasonable balance with variances and other matters,
and he thinks the PC would certainly make any considerations that they are
authorized and empowered to do Tom added that the PC has been pretty
sensitive to "bureaucratic decisions" which impact a property owners financial
situation Roaer McKown stated that "he encouraged many people to annex to the
City back in 1992, and he felt that it would be a good marriage between the city and ~
this annexation" - Mr. McKown continued stating "they were never notified that
the zoning was going to change, other than the little blurb in the newspaper about
the public hearing, we were never notified - and a lot of people including Mr
Blando, Mr Flood and others were very upset." Tom stated that since there is a
Planning Commission member who receives information pertaining to matters like
these on the county level, and this could possibly be a topic at a future public
hearing, its probably not appropriate for us to take too much input at this point. Mr.
McKown stated that he has been addressing this problem since January of this
year, has had the opportunity to sell his property twice and can not do so because
he can't subdivide his property Tom stated that the PC doesn't want to give
anyone the "run-around" - but we want to follow the appropriate process, and we
will give fair consideration to anything that comes before us Tom suggested Mr
McKown keep working with the staff
o
Cathie added that at today's work session, the PC can take public comment
regarding the way Chapter 17.28 is written, the minimum lot size, the requirements
etc. - not site specific comments though Tom then asked if anyone else would like

o
to comment? Ed Flood stated that he feels it is unfair and unjust that a couple can't
sell an acre or two of their own property
Cathie then gave a staff report. Cathie ended with the issues and questions the PC
should consider are 1 What is the minimum percentage of the site which should
remain in one parcel to meet the intent of the large lot commercial district (60%,
70%, 80% or somewhere in between?) 2 Once the percentage of the one parcel
is established, does it matter how the remaining parcel is divided into parcels or
commercial pads?
c
John Thomson asked Cathie to explain a situation, if he has six acres in an area
zoned commercial, can he do anything - divide it? Cathie said no, he wouldn't be
able to go through the subdivision process, but he could do a binding site plan
Cathie explained the binding site plan ordinance - there is a range of detail in a
binding site plan application, from a very general - non-descript type to a very
detailed plan, it would be surveyed, show probable types of uses, and approximate
amount of storm water area needed If someone decides to do the more detailed~
plan, that could actually be recorded with the County as a survey, then they would
have legal commercial pads to sell John inquired about the commercial zoning,
after a binding site plan process could someone buy an acre and build a house on
it? Cathie said no Mr. McKown addressed John Thomson, and stated that his
point was when they annexed into the city they were not zoned C-3, the rezone
changed them to C-3, and they were not notified Mr. McKown then asked Cathie
about earlier this year, could they or could they not do anything but sell the whole
piece of property? Cathie said that is how it was until they addressed the situation,
and the City's attorney suggested the binding site plan process
Tom asked if there were any more questions from the PC for the staff? Ray Kent
stated he was concerned about the smaller pieces of land, do we want pads that
small? Cathie referred to the matrix included in the PC lJackets
Tom stated that he feels the market drive is a good one Cathie concurred stating
she also thinks the market is a good self regulator on these types of things Tom
added the financial institutions are too
Tom asked Cathie if she wants the PC to consider just the change of the language?
Cathie said yes The group then looked at their handouts and packet information
Cathie stated that she would like the PC to suggest what the language should
include Marqaret Clapp asked Cathie to clarify the binding site plan, it is
something that is already allowed? Cathie said yes, it is part of our current code,
and she just wants the PC to help expand the language within this section so that
people have a clearer understanding
c
Bob Isom stated that he personally feels that 70% is a bit restrictive, if someone
has ten acres and the city requires them to tie up 70% of it - it seems very limiting
E.J. Currv agreed Bob stated he would rather see it at 40% to give a property
owner a chance Tom said that at 40% it would no longer be a large lot, 60% might

work. Bob asked what the definition of a large-lot is? Cathie reviewed the current
zoning code and referred to the intent section as the definition Joe Huddleston
asked about the size of the future Safeway? Cathie stated they are on ten acres,
the rep 's from Safeway have told her that they usually look for about 7-10 acre
pieces More discussion followed
Marqaret Clapp stated that she was not on the PC when the C-3 went in, but she
has to assume that a lot of thought went into it, and she supports the content of
protecting an area that is established for larger lots just as the city's industrial
should be preserved and not let any residential move in there Marqaret also ~
thought that 40% would be defeating the purpose to go much smaller, if there is
going to be a large lot designation There was more discussion John Thomson
asked about a person who owns a two acre piece, how can we consider that a
"large-lot" and why would we have a formula to apply to below ten acre pieces?
Cathie stated that what will happen then is within a zoning district you'd be making
discriminations based on property sizes, that's the whole idea of having zoning
districts - the rules apply to everyone - there will always be a wide variety of parcel
sizes within each zoning district, but we can't discriminate
Tom then took a poll from the PC Results were Four for 70%, three for 60% and
one for 50% There was a question of do we specify minimum lot size, or let the
market drive it? It was the consensus of the PC to let the market drive it. John
asked about the minimum size of a parcel to be subdivided or developed in the C-3
district shall be ten acres, if its less than ten acres you can't subdivide it? Marqaret
addressed the question, saying no - if its more than ten acres the smallest parcel
you can be left with is ten acres Cathie added that there aren't any parcels in that
situation so everyone would have to go through the binding site plan process
Other: Cathie stated that at the next scheduled PC meeting, October 19, 1998,
there will be a work session on Chapter 17 63-Manufactured/Mobile Homes
Cathie would like to discuss alternative foundations, new cosmetic features,
aesthetics etc

and the Yelm Comprehensive Plan After consideration of the facts and public testimony the Planning
Commission must take one of the following actions. request additional information from the applicant

B. Proposal: The proposal is for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone of the southwest
corner of Bald Hills Road and Morris Road The site is currently designated as low density residential in
the comprehensive plan and R-4 District from the zoning code. The proposed amendment to the
comprehensive plan is for the site to be designated as commercial and the zoning designation changed
to C-2 Heavy Commercial
C. Backaround: The City annexed the site in January 1998 Prior to the annexation, the City
completed a road improvement project which included the realignment of Morris Road Prior to the
realignment the subject property was on the southeast corner of Bald Hills. Road and Morris Road and
adjacent to properties zoned Low Density Residential (R-4). With the realignment of Morris Road the
property is now adjacent to Commercial properties. Morris Road now separates the parcel from
properties zoned residential.

pads for the remamder of the sIte.
The Issues and questions the Planning CommIssion should consIder are:
1 What IS the mmlmum percentage of the sIte WhIch should remam m one parcel to meet
the mtent ofthe large lot commercIal dlstnct (60%, 70%, 80% or somewhere m

2. Once the percentage of the one parcells estabhshed, does It matter how the remammg

Public Communications. There were none
c
Zonina Code Amendments. Work session' Work session on Chapter 17 28, Large Lot
Commercial Zone (C-3)
Cathie Carlson talked about the purpose of having the Work session, then gave the staff
report. Roberta Lonamire asked where the other areas are located with larger parcels?
Cathie stated there are a few C-1 areas towards the high school - Cathie then pointed out
the areas on the large zoning map There was more discussion Roberta stated that she
hates to see the C-1 areas get "chopped up" more, and we also need to think of the
property owners. John Thomson asked Cathie to clarify a ten acre parcel, for example - if
he owned a ten acre piece - zoned Commercial, could he subdivide it or is he forced right
now to leave the ten acres as is? Cathie said yes it must stay as the full ten acres, but only
in the C-3 zoned area Cathie then pointed out to the commission members exactly where
the C-3 zoning is on the large map
Rav Kent asked what was the intent for creating these suggestions? Cathie stated that
there was a property owner who had a purchaser for one acre of their seven total acres,
and the city was trying to figure out how they could accomodate this for them, yet still meet
the intent of the code The property owner couldn't subdivide, but they could do the binding
site plan. Currently, if this property owner came in and wanted to split the 7 acres into 14
half acre commercial tracts - they could, the city's code would have to allow it under a
binding site plan
John then asked if the city left the code and ordinance as is, couldn't property owners still
come in and appeal to the planning commission and city council for a variance? Cathie
answered that the city's variances have to be approved with the fact shown that the property
owner would suffer a great hardship that other property owners in the same zone would not
experience under the zoning code Few sites and/or circumstances can demonstrate that
type of hardship There was more discussion Cathie went on to say that city staff would
like some criteria and guidance from the planning commission on this
Roberta asked if we can set a minimum on the size parcel which can be divided? There
was discussion about different percentage scenarios. Rav Kent asked what would happen
in the future, is this a one time thing? Cathie said yes this is a one time thing, and when a
binding site plan is approved, the condition of "no more subdivision or reduction of parcel
size" would go on the face of the map Cathie also stated Jhat on binding site plans - for
each pad created to be a legal tax parcel to sell, the binding site plan and survey have to
be recorded, so it would be recorded against that property, it would show up every time

Roberta stated that she would like to hear what Glenn Blando has to say since he is a
current business owner in a C-3 zone Glenn Blando feels that we need to protect the C-3,
and the area being discussed is not a large area, but is a good location for the "box
retailers," plus improvements will be made to the Grove Road/Hwy 507 intersection - so this
will benefit this area also
Roberta then asked if the binding site plan can be deleted from the ordinance? Cathie said
no Ravasked if adjacent property owners know about this? Cathie stated there are a few
who know, but after some guidance from the planning commission, then the planning
department will do a mailing to all involved
Glen Cunninqham asked if all businesses which locate in the C-3 areas have to be "related
types?" Cathie said the code doesn't specifically say that. There was more discussion
Joe Huddleston asked if there were more comments or questions? Joe then stated that
everyone seems to be leaning towards the last scenario/drawing in the staff report, (an
example of a 9 acre site, 75% of the site as single parcel, no minimum lot size for remaining
25% of site) Glenn Blando agreed Cathie stated that Margaret Clapp and Tom Gorman
had both given her their thoughts and comments over the phone, and both also were
leaning towards the same scenario/drawing (the last one shown in staff report.)
Joe asked Cathie what else she needed as far as guidance from the planning commission?
Cathie stated that she will work on a couple different percentage scenarios, prepare some
diagrams and bring it to the next planning commission meeting to review again
Other: Plannina Commission work Droaram for the remainder of 1998-
Cathie stated that the C-3 discussionlWork session will be continued at the Sept. 21 regular
meeting At the October meeting Cathie hopes to discuss mobile home park standards
Cathie then gave a brief update on current planning projects
Meeting adjourned at 5 10 pm

From: Cathie Carlson
Re. Development/Lot Size in the 0-3,Zoning District
BackQrourid
The Yelm Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for three levels of coi1l1l1~rcial ca,tegories'to
me'et community heeds, which are Neighborhood Service/Professional Office, General
Re~iVCotnmercial Core, and a Commercial Service District. (rarger and more intensive
cOmmercial uses, including auto and machine oriented, mOdulat'hou~ing, and rectf3a.tional sales,
service, and repair.) In 1995, when the PlaliningCommiSsioh developed the zoning code to
impleme'nt the Comprehensive Plan and. its land use designatio.ns, c-3 was identltied as the
district that would best be ,suited to handle'the types of usesa~ described fortlie' Commercial
Service District (larger and more intensive cotninercial u~es, ...) CharacteristicS such as larger
parcels, future Y..2 and Y -S terminus and previoUs zoning guided the planning commission on
the location of the 0-30istrict and its al,low~duses.
\ '
In an area designated to accommoqate large uses, such as box rf3tajlers, the Planni,rig
Commission felt it was important to retain larger parcels for future :development. With that
thought, a minimum lot size of 10 acres was established. The minimum lot size did not preclude
parcels under 10 acres from developing, it simply meant thatn,ew parcels under 10 acres could
not Pe created throughsubdivisiQn of pro~rty.
Issue
Under the current zoning code parcel's-zoned 0-3 cannot be subdivided into parcels less than
10 acreS in size. For example a property owner would have to own a minimum of 20 acres to
create 2 lots. All properljes under 20 ,acres co'uld not be.subdMded. '
~
Under current binding site plan regulations a parcel under 10 acres' can create new parcels less
than 10 acres. This is accOmplished by proposing' different uses on tracts or pads and
identifying the impacts for the entire project site. There are 'no restrictions on- the size of new
tracts/pads. Upon approval of the proposed development project, the propertyi>wner records
the surveyalid the binding site plan which aUows for the tracts/pads to'besold as a legal totof
record,
It Is highly unlikely that aU the parcels i,n the 0-3 District will develop with a single user, therefore
it is necessary to have the flexibility of tDe Binding Site Plan. However, the Binding Site Plan
cbuld easily be used as a "loop holew In the code to create numerous sma~1 parcels.

The enclosed information provides examples of different scenario's that would provide some
criteria for the division of property through the Binding Site Plan, while meeting the Intent of the
C-3 Zoning District. Also I have included an inventory of parcels zoned C-3, a. corresponding
map and Chapter 17.28, Large Lot Commercial Zone (C"'3) with potential changes.
Worksession
The object of the Planning Commission worksesslon Is to review the enclosed examples and
use them as a starting point for discussion. Following the meeting, staff will make revisions
based on the discussion by, the Planning Commission.

Public Communications' Cathie Carlson introduced the City's newest
employee's - Drew Felmley, Building Official and Gibran Hashmi, Assistant
City Planner
Public Hearing Applicant: City of Yelm, Proposal Amendment to the City
Sign Code to allow off-site banners for community events
Joe Huddleston opened the public hearing at 4 03 pm Joe then asked if any
of the Planning Commission members had a conflict of interest? There was
none Joe asked if any member of the Planning Commission had received
any information prior to the hearing? None Joe called for the staff report.
Cathie Carlson gave the staff report.
Marqaret Clapp asked Cathie if the Community Event Banners will cause
problems from a management point of view, as far as scheduling etc?
Cathie said no
John Thompson stated from a business owners stand point, would
businesses be able to put their name on the event banner - (i e "Sponsored
by Coca Cola, or Jack's Grocery" etc.)? Cathie stated that it is the discretion
of the Planning Commission today, if a percentage of the overall event
banner can be used for sponsor's names Mr. Thompson commented on the
pole spec's, he stated he has been working with the City of Lacey, the
banner size may change depending on the size of the Right-of-Way

There was more discussion Joe Huddleston asked if there are multiple
sponsor's of an event, do they all get equal amount of space on the banner?
Marqaret Clapp said she thinks the allotted amount of space for sponsor
names, (i e 10%) would have to be divided between the sponsors
John Thomson asked if Olympia and Lacey address "sponsor's" in their
ordinances? Cathie stated Olympia does not, and she will find out if Lacey's
does or not. Joe Huddleston asked for clarification on the signage
dimensions of the proposed banners Cathie stated the actual
banner/signage size would be 30' long, and you would have the guide wires
attached Bob Isom stated that he feels that if the amount of space for
sponsor's names is restricted to a certain amount, there is not going to be
any incentive for companies or corporate sponsor's to help out with the
community events Rav Kent feels that it would not be good to have mostly
corporate sponsors/company names on the banner, and then a small space
for the event (i e "Prairie Days" etc ) - the purpose of the allowance of the
banners is to help publicize the community events, it seems that 10% of the
banner for sponsor names is quite adequate Cathie agreed, and stated that
10% would be about 10 sq ft. There was more discussion
o
Marqaret Clapp proposed an amendment to the original amendment, to state
that the maximum allowance for sponsors and/or corporate names shall be
10% of total sign/banner Cathie stated that this verbage could be added to
#8 of the original amendment. E.J. Curry agreed with Margaret's proposal
to amend the original amendment. There was more discussion
Bob Isom asked if the problem before was the issue of the banner content?
Cathie said no, the objective of this amendment is to make sure there are
proper installation procedures for the purpose of complete safety Bob Isom
then asked who has approval authority to decide what will be permitted as
far as content! language on the banners? Cathie stated the proposed
banners' content would have to be reviewed to make sure there isn't a
religious or political message and that the banner was in fact advertising a
"community event."

Tburston Regional Planning Council Meeting, l\tarch 6, 1998
The Regional CoullcIl:
1 Approved the City of Yelm I s request to combine the study of SR-S07 and SR-Sl0 bypasses1
using the Surface Transportation Program funds awarded by TRPC in 1993. The projects are
intended to address congestion problems III Yelm, and are in the 1998 Regional Transportation
Plan.
c
2 Discussed the upcoming F..conomic Assessment. The work will be conducted by consultant
Robert Chase TRPC staff Shanna Stevenson is tbe project manager. A Project Work Group
will oversee the project and review progress. Rcgional Coullcil members Mark Foutch and
Nancy Peterson will be joined in that group by a representative each from the Economic
Dcvelopment Council, Port of Olympia, Private Industry Council, The Olympian newspaper,
the League of Women Voters and the Master Builders A Technical Team will support the
consultant with data, expertise and local knowledge. Staff will be joined in that group by
economists from St. Maltin's College, The Evergreen State College, and WasWngton State
Employment Security.
A copy qf the SCQ_lJ8 oj Work is attacll8{l.
In Worksession, discussed examining bow new capacity in the road system is paid. This is
a next step in pursuing the new transportation revenues proposed in the recently~adopted
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), III their transmittal of the RTP to the Regional Council for
adoption, the Transportation Policy Board (fPB) recommended TRPC facilitate discussion that
willlldetcrmine t11e 'appropriate' contribution growth should be making to new capacity in the
transportation system " The TPB believed this to be necessary before the public would likely
vote for increased local gas taxes, or support a new vehicle license fee.
3.
While transit, travel demand management and alternative mode travel all are part of the
transp0l1ation mix, this project will focus 011 how new road capacity is paid. Council members
identified tile following issues of interest in this project:
· Learning how past road capacity projects were planned to be funded, and actually funded;
· RelatIng new road capacity to growth, and distinguishing between fixing deficiencies and
providing new capacity,
· Understanding how impact fees and other traffic impact mitigation payment systems
work, what the choices are, and how these affect others (such as school districts);
· Considering how funding might work similar to a utility (i.e., growth buying into the
system; everyone paying on-gOing user fees);
o
· Considering how a transportation benefit district might apply; and
.
Addressing funding needs created by pass-through traffic (e g., with grants).
The Regional Council will oversee this project and involve tlle TPB at key points in the process.
The next step is to review a scope of work, tlmeline and budget for the project.

Public Hearina: Gramor Development N W , Inc., Location-Nisqually Plaza
Mall, Proposal Variance from side yard setbacks
Tom Gorman opened the public hearing at 405 pm Tom then asked if any
of the Planning Commission members had a conflict of interest? There was
none Tom asked if any member of the Planning Commission had received
any information prior to the hearing? None Tom called for a staff report.
Cathie Carlson gave the staff report. Cathie stated that the main concern of
staff is that the buildings were constructed with the minimum building code
requirements for zero lot lines and fire wall separations - the applicant has
sent the as-builts for those buildings, the building dept. has reviewed
everything and the buildings do meet all the fire codes Cathie stated that
staff recommends Planning Commission's approval and a motion to forward
to the City Council for final action
Marqaret Clapp asked if there is any reason why we wouldn't want the
applicant to do this? Cathie said no, the main reason for the variance
application is for accounting purposes - so the applicant can assess taxes
more appropriately etc

Roberta LonQmire asked if a new development would be allowed to have
zero lot lines? Cathie said yes, under the binding site plan process with the
overlay of a mixed use development - but it is the decision of the city council
because those are individual cases Cathie also stated that the Nisqually
Plaza development is not out of characteristic of what a commercial
development is and looks like Cathie added that now as new projects come
in she tells them up front "if you think you may want to separate part of your
commercial building at a later date and have it for different taxing purposes
or sell it etc, lets do a binding site plan at the beginning," so the applicant
has the flexibility and they don't have to come back later to the Planning
Commission
Tom Gorman inquired about common walls between the buildings? Cathie
said they do not share common walls John Thomson asked if the buildings
share a common roof? Cathie said no There were no further questions or
comments Tom closed the public hearing at 4 10 pm

ApPLICANT'S SUMMARY OF REQUEST
City of Yelm
Application for Variance Permit
Nisqually Plaza
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The request IS for relIef from commercial setback requirements that have been added/revised
subsequent to the development in 1993 of the Nisqually Plaza shopping center
The Applicant has filed a Short Plat application with the City At the tIme of the shoppmg center
development, no commercial building side setback requirements existed. The Applicant
designed a portion of the shopping center and prepared the Short Plat to not accommodate
building setbacks. City of Yelm approval of the proposed Short Plat would place four of the
existing buildings (the QFC, Rite Aid, and two adjoining retail structures) into a non-conforming
condition with the current zoning code building setback requirements; hence the need for the
varIance.
With exception of Burger King and Key Bank, which have their own separate tax parcels, eight
buildings (seven existing buildings, with provision for another future building) exist on one tax
parcel. Because the Burger King and Key Bank structures are all integrated mto the shopping
center as one inclusive development, the County Assessor often has difficulty determining which
properties and buildings are and aren't part of the shopping center The tax assessments are
often in error and require correction.
The tenants at the Center pay their proportional share of taxes, based on the share of their space
in their buildings. At this time there IS one large tax bill for all seven buildings (WIth a potentIal
for another building) in the entire shopping center Like the tax assessor, the tenants are often
confused as to which property is or isn't part of the tax bills.
The four potentially non-conforming structures, although constructed immediately adjacent to
each other and appear to share common walls, actually have a physical separation distance of
approximately 6+" between the structural walls.
Dividing the shopping center property into logICal, mdlvidual tax parcels that relate specifically
to each building allows 1) the tax assessor to more easily and accurately determine the
appropnate assessments, and 2) allows simpler and accurate tax distributIons for the tenants.
List the provisions(s) of zoning or other standards from which you are seeking a
variance.
The request IS for relief from commerCial setback reqUIrements that have been added/revised
subsequent to the development in 1993 of the Nisqually Plaza shopping center

Ijames Rowe, dev<ibp<r; OJiumlia, Md.
In their quest to create better,
faster-selling communities,
more and more builders and
developers are adding a "soft"
infrastructure of programs and
amenities that will hold their pro-
jects together long after they
move on.
These forward-thinking profe&-
sionals see themselves as "social
engineers" who not only put in
the sewers, streets and sidewalks
- the "hard" infrastrUcture that is
the backbone of every housing de-
velopment - but also the clubs,
leagues and events that become a
community s heart and soul.
"I never heard the terms 'social
engineer and 'soft infrastrUcture'
until a year ago. Now, 1 hear them
everywhere 1 go," says Randall
Lewis of Lewis Homes in Upland,
Calif. "fhere' s a growing recogni-
tion that the soft stuff is really
what aIlows us to build the kind of
communities that our customers
desetve. "
V.R. "Pete" Halter, a marketing
strategist from Atlanta, sees the
trend a little differently. He says
builders have always been social
engineers. But because the
process was driven by local go....
ernment and activists, they
haven't been very good at iL
Now, however, Halter says the
building community is starting to
take control, or at least it should.
"fhe driving force behind sales
today is uses and .activities," the
consultant says, "'The house is sim-
ply the price of admission. If the
place doesn't feel right, (home
buyers) are not going to live
there. "
Large master-planned develop-
ments (MPDs) with hundreds or
thousands of acres, dozens of
builders and lots of money are the
clear leader in the social engi-
neering movement, thanks to
their interpretive trails, sports
leagues, small neighborhood
parks, sheltered bus stops and vol-
unteer programs.
These relatively inexpensive
amenities tend to bring people to-
gether, and are the reason why
master-planned projects tend to
sell at a better rate than their
smaller rivals, even during bad
times. "'The successful MPDs are
more about sociology than topol-

o
ogy," says Halter. "fhey sell place,
not product."
But Halter and others believe
that thesarne theory applies no
matter how big....,. or smaIl- the
projecL What's more, they say it
doesn't take big bucks, or even.
extra buckll, to build in a soft in-
frastrUcture. In fact, if done co~
rectly, builders can actually save
money.
The key is I"ellearch. BuilderS
"must do their homework,. says
I"ellearch specialist John Schlelniet
of Market Perspectives in Ro-
seville, Calif. "'They need to \mow
what their buyers ihink is impo~
tant. If they can cut out one or tWo
amenities they don't really need,
it goes right to their bottom lines.
Why waste money?"
Schleimer has just finished tab-
ulating a survey of 500 recent new
home buyers in five master-
planned communities in Florida.
Virginia, Colorado, Nevada and
California about rpeir am,enity
preferences. The results were
somewhat surprising.
The top-rated hard<ost ameni-
ties were fairly inexpensive paved
bike paths, Walking trails and com-
munity parks. (c...dmJt<d on pogo 6)
New Home Buyers Are
Seeking a Sense of Place
(c...dmJt<d from poet'> The lowest-
rated big-ticket features were golf
courses, which are expensive to
build and operate.
That doesn't mean that peo-
ples' interest in golf is on the
wane. It isn't. It is still a very pow-
erful draw, but only in the right
marketplace and with the right
customer "'These are nationwide
results, " Schleimer stresses. "Each
geographic area has its own pref"
erences. Builders need to do their
own research in their own areas."
Nevertheless, only a third of
those who live in golf course com-
munities actually play the game.
And while there is little doubt that
having a course right outside the
back door enhances housing val-
ues, the greens are costly for de-
velopers to build and home own-
ers to maintain. How do builders
solve that predicament?
Celebration, the fabulously suc-
cessful Disney community in Or-
lando, did it by keeping things
simple. "We didn't ignore the golf
course; it's important to people in
Florida," says Disney's Charles
Adams. "But we built only a basic
clubhouse with a basic snack bar "
Still, even though golf is consid-
ered king practically everywhere,
Adams says that Celebration's
trails are it's most important
amenity, not golf. Moreover, the
community's most.popular water
attraction isn't a big, full-feature
swimming pool (the community
doesn't even have one) It's an in-
teractive water fountain where
kids can walk in, over and around
bursts of water.
One of the top rated, less ex-
pensive amenities in Schleimer's
SUIVey were small neighborhood
parks. A park doesn't have to be
anything spectacular, just an
unimproved place within walking
distance where mom can take the
kids to play. One of the lowest
rated was a community concierge,
a full time person who makes
reservations, picks up the cleaning
or does practicaIly anything else a
home owner may want
The highest rated social
5
amenity was a strong set of rules
for governing the community
"Most builders think bU)"'rs don't
read the covenants and restric
tions," says Schleimer, "but they
want control of the quality and char.
acter of the place where they live."
Another highly desired soft fea-
ture was a neighborhood watch
program. It outranked guarded
entries, another expensive hard
cost amenity that is considered a
must today. Not that security isn't
important It's "vital," says Halter.
but only in some places. Further.
more, the SUIVey found that home
owners would rather have roving
patrols than stationary gate
houses.
Other popular social features
included community events such
as farmers' markets, founders
days and the like. And the most
important "emerging" programs
- "We had the most handwritten
comments on these," says
Schleimer - were youth sports
leagues, instrUctional classes and
seminars, volunteer programs and
Internet programs. In keeping
with this last set of amenities, Di~
ney not only ran a fiber optic loop
around Celebration, but it also
created an intranet network that
connected all owners to each
other So when someone moves
in, they get an e-mail address as
well as a how<: address. But Di".
ney went further by training the
firstresiden ts on how 10 use the
technology. Then it backed off, al-
lowing the first wave of home own-
ers to teach the next wave. And
now, when a family moves in, their
neighbor comes over and helps
them get online.
"It helps peoph: get to know
each other and rely on each
other," says Adams. "And it gets
the developer out of the picture,
because we're going away eventu-
ally anyway."

Home Buyers Choosing To Live With a Bit Less
In a freewheeling discussion on
design trends across America,
panelists at an American Insti-
tute of Architects press confer-
ence at last month's International
Builders' Show in Dallas observed
that despite today's booming
economy, many home buyers are
seeking out simpler homes like
their grandparents had, opting to
"buy down" rather than levenlging
themselves to purchase the1argest
home they possibly can afford.
"In the WashingtoIl' D.C. area,
we are finding a traditional neigh-
borhood design," said W1lllilin De-
vereaux,Jr., principal, Devereaux
& Associates, located in McLean,
Va, "The first-time buyers are pro-
fessional, educated young families
purchasing 1,600- to 1,800-square-
feet homes where one spouse stays
home with the kids. These are
simple 'grandma' homes with the
garage in the rear, porch in the
front. Purchasers are buying down
and finding they can live with a lit-
tle bit less."
"Communities are becoming a
focal point, and one of the top
items individuals look at before
u
making their decision to buy there
is whether they have sufficient
walking spaces, or whether they
are isolated behind closed doors,"
said Philip Hove, president of La-
guna Beach, Calif.-based Hove De-
sign Alliance ArchitectS: "We are
seeing a resurgence of garages
being moved to the back of the
house, accessible by a back street,
to make the front look better The
materials used on these front
porches are much nicer as well. "
'"The older popuIationis also
buying down as well, " noted Susan
Bradford, deputy editor of
Builder magazine. "As the baby
boomers enter their 50s, they are
moving out of the family to a
smaller house. But they demand
top of the line finishes and detail-
ing."
Bradford also observed that for
many buyers, bigger is still better
"We are seeing a movement to-
ward infill, and in some cities a
tear-down movement is going on.
Newcomers are tearing down cot-
tages and building new houses as
big as possible."
Niche markets are strong in
California, according to Donald
Jacobs, president of JBZ Architec-
ture and Planning, located in
Newport Beach. "In California,
buyers each want their own spe-
cific item - a home office, garage
in back - and builders are using
this demand to create their own
niche markets."
Panelists noted that builders
and architects alike are placing
mOTe and more emphasis on envi-
ronmental concerns. Whenever
possible, they are preserving the
existing local topography to keep
the area unique instead of level-
ing whole land tracts.
"New home buyers want a
wooded lot and they are willing to
pay a premium for it, " said Brad-
ford. "Once builders see that com-
munities are more marketable
when they contribute to the exist-
ing environment, it fuels this type
of development. "
In terms of new trends, the
great room remains a popular fea-
ture, and living rooms are becom-
ing smaller, in many instances
being transferred to the upstairs
level.
"If the living room goes away
downstairs, it will move upstairs to
the private family area," said
Hove,
'The second floor family room
is the room of the future," added
Bradford,
Demographically speaking,
Bradford noted that, by and large,
young families are still attracted
to the conventional cul-de-sac lot
in the suburbs, with a back yard
and community that is safe for the
kids, while young couples, singles
without children and empty
nesters desire to live closer in to
the cities. "We are seeing a resur-
gence of lofts in the inner cities,"
she said.
And climate factors keep some
things from ever changing, said
Devereaux. "The further north
you get, you will find a garage at-
tached to the home no matter
where you are. "

Applicant: George Horn Proposal. Senior Assisted Living Facility with 118-bed capacity,
in-house medical office and 1,600 square foot children's day care center City-
Councilman Glen Cunningham left the meeting because the project would also be
presented at the 2/25/98 city council meeting for final action
Tom Gorman opened the public hearing at 4 02 pm Tom then asked if any of the
Planning Commission members had a conflict of interest? There was none Tom askE~d
if anyone in the audience objects to anyone participating? There was no comment. Tom
asked if any member of the Planning Commission had received any information prior to
the hearing? There was none Cathie Carlson started out by handing out copies of a
letter from Heidi Gould and Jalene Smith from "Breakthroughs in Healing Center" -
Olympia, received today, in support of the Canyon Ranch project. Cathie gave the staff
report. Tom Gorman asked a question about "Grass-Crete" - Ken Garmann described
Grass-Crete as an alternative to paving for the employee parking lot and fire lane Ken
stated the Stormwater Design Manual allows Grass-Crete as an alternative to paving
T om asked the applicant if he would like to speak? George Horn came forward and
explained in detail the project and also told everyone why he is pursuing this project. Mr
Horn showed pictures of the proposed project on the large site plans
Tom Gorman thanked Mr Horn, and asked if anyone from the audience would like to
speak? Steven Knopp spoke enthusiastically of Mr Horn's proposed project. Mr Knopp
feels this is a "very well thought out" project, it is a beautiful concept and it has great
potential for this community Tom thanked Mr Knopp, and asked for any more
comments Also speaking in support of Mr Horn's proposed project were Bruce
Weiskotten, Molly Fairchild, Mike Malan and Jim Arthur Tom thanked all speakers for
their comments
c
Tom then asked for comments or questions from the Planning Commission Roberta
Longmire asked Cathie why the buffer is the responsibility of the Residentially zoned
property rather than the Commercial developer? Cathie stated that the first project to
come in bears the responsibility Roberta asked if that is policy or regulation?
Yelrn Planning Commission
February 17, 1998
Page 1
c
Cathie said that the regulation says that when there is adjacent conflicting uses there will
be a 15 ft. buffer, and that the code does not specify which zoning or property is
responsible, therefore the first project is required to provide the buffer
There was more discussion Roberta does not agree that a developer should have to
buffer the Commercial use, because the Commercial use is the "higher use" and they
should be required to provide the buffer Shelly Badger stated that the Planning
Commission could put the decision in a Special Use permit recommendation
John Huddleston stated that he feels Mr Hom and himself can work out the buffer
problem. Roberta commented that there isn't any assurance that Mr Huddleston will still
own the property at the time it is developed
Margaret Clapp asked Mr Hom if there is an outside play area for the daycare children?
Mr Hom affirmed by pointing out on the large site plan where the play area will be
Margaret then asked Mr Hom about the timing of the phasing procedure? Mr Horn
stated that it all depends on the marketing of the project - he will do advertising and
marketing ahead of time Mr Hom went on to talk about the benefits he will offer to
employee's (profit sharing plan for all employee's, medical benefits etc.)
Bob Isom asked Mr Hom if he has any background or experience in this type of project?
Mr Hom stated no, this will be his first "assisted living facility" project - but he has done
many high quality developments Tom Gorman asked Mr Hom if this project is
considered a nursing home? Mr Hom said no, this is "Assisted Living" - which requires
a boarding home license Tom then asked about an estimated cost per resident per
month? Mr Hom said it will be in the $1600-2000 per month, per resident range Bob
then asked Cathie if the improvements on Mt. View Road can be put off until something
happens on that road? Cathie said yes there is a deferral agreement available Bob
asked about the intersection of Burnett Road and 93rd? Cathie said the City is working
on that project, there are plans to realign at a ninety degree angle, hopefully it will be
done in the next year or so Tom Gorman closed the public hearing at 5 OOpm

8 Transportation and Site Access. The street network adjacent to the main entrance
of the site is Burnett Road with Mt. View Road on the eastern property line No
vehicular access is requested from Mt. View Road
The Yelm Development Guidelines, Chapter 4, classifies both roads as neighborhood
collectors and requires the project proponent to improve both roads from centerline
Improvements would consist of core road improvements from centerline, planter strip
and sidewalk,
Consistent with City of Yelm Ordinance 580, Concurrency Ordinance, a Congregate
Care/Assisting Living Facilities generates 0 17 new peak hour trips per unit and a day
care facilities generates 11 67 new peak hour trips per every 1,000 square feet. As
proposed the development would generate 20 new pm peak hour trips by the
assisted living facility and 19 new pm peak hour trips by the daycare for a total of 39
new pm peak hour trips

a 1632 square foot daycare The total parking requirement for the site is 84 parking
stalls ADA stalls will be provided within the required stalls and meet the
requirements of the American Disabilities Act.
